The World According to Oatney

A Citizen Legislator

Faison not only understands and shares the views of so many of his potential constituents, but when Faison says "I am an ordinary man," he isn't joking. There is nothing overly extraordinary in his background, and for some uppity sorts that is an automatic disqualification. For most East Tennessee voters, however, Jeremy Faison's very regular life is very similar to the lives they lead every day, enough that they can feel confident that when they call Representative Faison with a concern or a problem that might seem trivial to others at the Capitol, he will have an understanding ear because he will have recently dealt with similar difficulties himself.
